Upstairs at the Loft is more of Phoebe and Lowell’s work in Marked Terrain, which muses on a theme that is now often referred to as the Anthroposcene Epoch.
The Anthropocene Epoch is an unofficial unit of geologic time, used to describe the most recent period in Earth’s history when human activity started to have a significant impact on the planet’s climate and ecosystems

Gallery Conversations: Betwixt and/or Between
Thursday, November 18th
6:30 – 8pm, PST Online
Register at eventbrite.com
Join us for a virtual discussion featuring curator John David O’Brien and the exhibiting artists in the latest edition of Gallery Conversations: Betwixt and/or Between.
Betwixt and/or Between is organized by John David O’Brien, and includes works by Nena Amsler, Fatemeh Burnes, Mark Steven Greenfield, Renée Lotenero, John David O’Brien, Pam Posey, Shirley Tse, Alexis Zoto, and Ismael de Anda III in collaboration with Eugene Ahn.
The artists in this exhibition regularly transit between different worlds, be they inherited, imposed, physical, or philosophical. Betwixt and/or Between seeks to illuminate how these different vital points are connected within the artists, their practice, and ultimately the viewer.
The exhibition is currently on view through December 11th at Angels Gate Cultural Center. More information about the exhibition and AGCC can be found at angelsgateart.org.
Betwixt and/or Between is made possible with generous support from the Pasadena Art Alliance and Department of Cultural Affairs, City of Los Angeles.
